My favorite trivia from that is that the Phil Collins deformed puppet was from a British show mocking Phil Collins. He loved it so much he hired the puppet makers to create puppets for the entire band and used them for this music video.
i am not really sure whether you agree with me or that was supposed to be some sarcastic burn, but at least some generals are in the chain of command.
the "nuclear football" is not some magic button that president presses and the nukes start flying.
it is basically sat-phone and a password, that connects the president with some command center and authenticates, to person in the command center, that the person on the other side is the president person holding the card with password 😀
after that long line of people follows, starting with secretary of defense and ending up with some soldier in the missile silo who physically has their hand on the button.
every single one of them has duty to disobey unlawful command.
